A Suit Against Bon Butler.

New YORK, June 5.-James H. Lister, the
Southern spy and blockade runner, sued
General B. F. Butler in 1886 for damages
and false imprisonment. He was beaten
last February before Judge Coke and a jury.
Now he has begun a second action against
the General to recover certain papers and
personal property taken from him when ar
rested. Lister was a Northern manufacturer
who went South just before the war and
sid d with the Confederates. Butler arrested
him while endeavoring to get North to
promote. an extensive blockade-running
kcheme and on court-martial Lister was
imprisoned a year. He claims Butler took
property from BIN and kept it. Listers
lawyer said yesterday, when the suit was
called before Judge Wheeler, that he would
not be able to 60 on with the case at pres
because he wanted to get certain docu-
ments in the War Department. These had
been kept from him through the influence
OF Butler, He asked that the case be post
poned until the October term. United
States District Attorney Wheeler and
for General fuller opposed the
motion. Judge Wheeler took the papers
will decide the matter to-day.

Too Mean for Anything.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: A certain young
lady living on Dayton's Bluff has lost all
faith in the male sex, ana all because an
intimate gentleman acquaintance tried to
do her what he considered a favor. He
met her on Third street q few days ago,
and was Mortified to discover about two
inches OF white lace dragging on the dusty
pavement, while the young lady, whose
face betokened. mental agitation, had
grasped the sides of her dress in a firm
grip on either side. The gentleman hcsi-
tated a moment, after she had passed him
without salutation, then. taking into con-
sideration his intimacy with the lady and
her family, resolved to inform her of the
impending calamity. Hastily retracing his
steps, he overlook the lady, and, lifting his
hat, he began: 81 beg your pardon, Miss
-, but you are about to lose -"
Don't l know it, you mean, hateful crea-
ture? No gentleman would mention such
a circumstance TO a lady, and I'll never
speak to you again." With a gush of tears
the maiden released her hold on the dress
to obtain her handkerchief, and tw steps
further the worst n accomplished. The
gentleman turned and fed in agony of
spirit, but not too soon to see the girl
hastily step out OF the t~reacherous skirt
and take refuge in a millinery establish
ment, whence she emerged q few moments
later with a serene countenance, but suspi-
cion of tears in her bright blue eyes. When
the gentleman called the next evening the
young lady was engaged" and could not
see him.

Mr.. sCALLAN MOVED THE COURT

that Nj. Mckay be brought in and exam
ined on the part Of the prosecution. The
Supreme Court of Montana had ruled that
the production of all the witnesses neces-
sary to the establishment of the prosecu-
tons case must be done at first and this
man Mckay was evidently the prime mover
in this prosecution and should be produced
then.
Mr.. Haldorn replied that they had no in
tention Of producing him except in rebuff
tai.
Mr.. Scallan contended tnat Mckay was
the prosecuting witness who had instigated
the proceeding, and his testimony was es.
sential to the establishment of the crime.
Mr.. Haldorn replied that the counselhad
just made the admission what their de.
fence would consist of, which was to en-
deavor to prove Mckay was the thief, and
it was sufficient evidence of the charge al
legged against the defendant that he was in
possession of the goods
The court overruled the motion to COM
pei production of Mckay.
Mr.. 6callan then moved the discharge of
the defendant ON the same grounds, which
motion the court also overruled, and the
defence began.
Mrs. Bradley: The defendant has been
been lodging in her house seven weeks. Mr..
Jolleywas there the other day and searched
his ROOM, Mr.. Mckay had been in the
room between z and 8 o'clock that same
morning. Nobody was in the room with
him at thu time. Mckay asked if Mr..
Granston was in, and they said he was
out. He then went to the room himself
and closed the door after him, and he was
there quite awhile by himself. Half an
hour later he and Jolley came there to
make the search of McLeod's room.

a pile of goods like that he would miss
none of them except the vest pattern; he
puts similar goods in a refuse box, but if
anyone took them from there next day he

value; the waste is generally used for
patching; if he had to use it for patch
ing it might have some value.
Granston recalled: Known Mcleod for

spoken of as a very good mechanic and
very friendly.

CHICAGO, July 25.-The escape OF
McGarigle gave fresh zest to the
Doodle trial to-day and q jam Of spec
tors resulted. and there was the spec
tacle of two prominent contractors tes-
tifying in detail how they and twelve
other defendants had month after
month robbed the county of thousands
of dollars. In one instance one of
them furnished about $4,000 worth
of material for road to the county
insane asylum and to obtain the con-
tract expended over $1,000 among the
defendants. The county eventually
had to pay this sum as the contractor
added that amount to his bill. Two
station agents of the Milwaukee & st.
Paul road were paid a couple OF hun
dred dollars each to certify falsely as
to the amount OF material delivered.
A milk contractor said that his con-
tracts cost him about $4,000 each to
obtain, but in the end that it all came
out of the county treasury. OF the
defendants, the worst blackened by the
days testimony was Warden Varnell,
of the insane asylum.
